Optimizing image generation pipelines on Google Cloud: A practical guide

Generative AI diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion and Flux produce stunning visuals, empowering creators across various verticals with impressive image generation capabilities. However, generating high-quality images through sophisticated pipelines can be computationally demanding, even with powerful hardware like GPUs and TPUs, impacting both costs and time-to-result. The key challenge lies in optimizing the entire …

AI unlocks the emotional language of animals

Groundbreaking study shows machine learning can decode emotions in seven ungulate species. A game-changer for animal welfare? Can artificial intelligence help us understand what animals feel? A pioneering study suggests the answer is yes. Researchers have successfully trained a machine-learning model to distinguish between positive and negative emotions in seven different ungulate species, including cows, …

Evaluating Sample Utility for Data Selection by Mimicking Model Weights

Foundation models are trained on large-scale web-crawled datasets, which often contain noise, biases, and irrelevant information. This motivates the use of data selection techniques, which can be divided into model-free variants — relying on heuristic rules and downstream datasets — and model-based, e.g., using influence functions. The former can be expensive to design and risk …

Generate synthetic counterparty (CR) risk data with generative AI using Amazon Bedrock LLMs and RAG

Data is the lifeblood of modern applications, driving everything from application testing to machine learning (ML) model training and evaluation. As data demands continue to surge, the emergence of generative AI models presents an innovative solution. These large language models (LLMs), trained on expansive data corpora, possess the remarkable capability to generate new content across …

An SRE’s guide to optimizing ML systems with MLOps pipelines

Picture this: you’re an Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) responsible for the systems that power your company’s machine learning (ML) services. What do you do to ensure you have a reliable ML service, how do you know you’re doing it well, and how can you build strong systems to support these services?  As artificial intelligence (AI) …

It’s a Sign: AI Platform for Teaching American Sign Language Aims to Bridge Communication Gaps

American Sign Language is the third most prevalent language in the United States — but there are vastly fewer AI tools developed with ASL data than data representing the country’s most common languages, English and Spanish. NVIDIA, the American Society for Deaf Children and creative agency Hello Monday are helping close this gap with Signs, …
